Imagine how it feels when you are riding a bike with black jersey while back wheeling, your dense hairs dancing with gush of air(provided if you have countable hairs!) and don’t miss, a bunch of girls in Open-shoulder cheering you by calling your name, madly! How do you feel? Awesome dude! Imagination has no limits it can make us even President!
This can be
possible only, if you know bike riding. Unfortunately, don’t tell to any, being
21 years old I have not learnt it! Leave me, my dad, mom, elder bro, uncle,
aunt, cousins… no one has learnt it.
In every family
each person will have a different or peculiar quality, same, they will have a
unique phobia.

My mom most of
the time prays to God. She thinks negatively in every case. “I have to prepare carrot halwa, if it becomes too sweet or
too liquid? What people think about my cooking abilities?!” then starts praying
to God to make the dish delicious.
Bigger the negative thought more the time
for praying. Call it a
‘bad-may-happen-o-phobia’. Let me see
what she is doing now. I guess she can’t be praying now because just half an
hour ago I saw her praying. Err.., I was wrong. She is praying. I guess a small
negative thought so finished her prayer faster!
My dad fears
about losing the shares, call it a ‘share-market-phobia’. He is more confident
about it as he always experience, whenever he buys shares market comes down and
whenever he sells, market goes up! Whenever he loose capital he gives ‘more smile’!
Well, it will be better if I don’t tell about
my brother because i know very little about him! He likes to be alone; he won’t
talk with any much, call it a ‘words-o-phobia’! As I could calculate, he spoke
just 63 words with us last year! But I should say he is not mentally challenged
or something. He has got ultimate brain but he just speaks less.
I told my friend
about my desire to learn bike riding. He reluctantly accepted to teach me. It’s
been two weeks me learning bike riding my friend told me I improved much. Next day
he came with the-big-black-tigress-CBZ, I
love it. I got elated and assured him of a party today in Suraj, an ultimate
restaurant. He sat in back seat and told me to ride. I imagined the above said instance; me back wheeling and girls were
about to cheer me but my friend interrupted my imagination and patted me to
ride. Screw him. No party today!
I sat on the
bike I was in full josh so I felt it light weighted. I rode about 50 meters or
so I found that my friend was not sitting behind me. When I turned rear my
friend was cheering for me. I should have felt happy for that but contradictory
to that my motor nerves sent the signals to get afraid! I was alone on the bike what if I can’t take a good turn! Mistakes happen
within nano seconds, I don’t know why, I jumped from the bike! I guess, I got
too pissed out or I skid while turning. I heard a huge sound as CBZ fell down. It
was not the time to think why I jumped but to pray like my mom nothing much
serious happen to the bike. As I turned toward my friend he was running towards
the bike.
“@#$$$@
@@#^&”, he said to me. I could not hear him. (Sorry I am lying!)
I saw petrol was
leaking from the bike. I ran away from the bike shouting, “Run, it’s going to
blast!” I was running away from bike shouting and he was running towards it
cursing. I ran as fast I could. I guess that
day I broke the Bolt’s record in 100meter sprint.
My friend didn’t
stop. I guess he was more worried about his parents, screwing him if anything
happened to bike. I kept watching the bike and my friend from distant. In Diwali
we feel sad when the crackers won’t blast. But here if bike had blasted like
cracker then I would have felt bad. No wonder, then my dad’s account balance
would have fall down exponentially. He would have given me ‘more smile’!
So many
scratches were on the bike and the head light was totally smashed. My friend
didn’t say anything to me. He just left me in the ground and walked away with
the bike. I was dumbstruck there. I sat for a while, tried to recollect what
had happened but I could not get the correct picture. After a while I moved
towards home.
When I reached
my home my dad gave me ‘more
smile’! My friend had visited my
home and told the entire story to him and collected the money. After this
incident I developed a bike phobia. I didn’t try to learn it. But after some
days I analyzed and came to the conclusion that if once we commit mistake it
does not mean that in future too we will commit it. As I remember my mom prayed
for me before me going for the bike riding coaching but it didn’t work. She has
the phobia of negative things happening and she prays for it because she
assumes it as a solution even though it’s not precisely.
What I learnt is
phobias are common to everyone but it’s in us to overcome and it’s in us how we
overcome. Most of the time we worry about the people criticizing us for our
phobias so we never share them and live with them but don’t forget it’s our
life not theirs. Make your own way and reach the pinnacle in-spite of your
problems. Good luck!

Hi Jerly, Surely i will check the post :):D
DeleteAaah phobia..that was humorous. I cant think of any right now. Yeah im scared of missing steps when i walk down a glazed tiling floor. Weird!
ReplyDeleteHi Insignia
Deletewell, i guess most of the people will scare of the same when they take at most care of their each step.
Some one asked centipede, 'how you concentrate among your centi-legs to put the right leg at right time without any confusion?' centipede had no answer. Actually it also got amused how it manages without confusion! To check it,centipede started to walk concentrating on each leg but it couldn't walk a bit even! Strange but true :D :)
